Zhang Rulin's eldest grandson, Zhang Dai, was famous for later generations, but he himself became known through a family heirloom written by his grandson.

This does not mean that he is insignificant or mediocre, in fact he is one of the first people who can be classified as a late Ming scholar.

Before Zhang Rulin, although Zhang was rich and willing to spend money, he still regarded diligence and thrift as his virtue.

For example, Xu Yuanzuo sighed: People's mouthwash is better than his usual tea, but who would have thought that Zhang Yuanxi's wife would personally knit hair towels for sale.

This is inconceivable to some people, even like performance art, but for the orthodox Confucian family, it is a matter of course: the family can spend money, can wear gold and silver luxuriously, but it cannot be wasted, and the foundation of thrift must not be forgotten. This also includes a waste of manpower, so housewives weaving and embroidery are all part of the business.

This is a philosophy of life: no matter whether you are rich or poor, you can't be lazy in what you should do.

Some people read books and are willing to practice this philosophy, while others dismiss it as ridiculous.

Throughout the ages, it is better than that.

After Zhang Rulin, the Zhang family became more and more extravagant, completely bidding farewell to the family style of diligence and thrift, and embarked on the road of luxury.

And not ashamed, but take it for granted.

Zhang Dai said bluntly in his self-written epitaph: good house, good beautiful maid, good prostitution, good fresh clothes, good food, good horses, good lanterns, good fireworks, good pear orchard, good advocacy, good antiques, good flowers and birds, and tea and orange abuse, books and poems......

This is all influenced by Zhang Rulin, and the well-known Zhang's vocal performance is also the beginning of him, which has led to the atmosphere of the Jiangnan Shijia self-storage opera troupe.

But at the moment. Xu Yuanzuorang looked at the eight-year-old handsome young man in front of him, and just smiled at each other.

"This is Xu Sheng, who wrote "Kindergarten Learning", you think very highly of yourself. Can you sit side by side? Zhang Yuanchen is quite strict with his son, supervising his son's reading every night, and not going to bed until the end of the night.

Zhang Rulin saluted Xu Yuanzuo like an adult: "Mr. Jiuyang." ”

Xu Yuanzuo returned the salute with a smile, but seeing that he was so young, he hadn't read much in the future, so he didn't say much. Who knew that Zhang Rulin regarded Xu Yuanzuo as a model for his predecessors, and he memorized a few poems. I want Xu Yuanzuo to comment.

The poems of eight-year-old boys are innocent, but they can't talk about their skills. It's like a scribbled crayon drawing.

Xu Yuanzuo politely said two sentences, and of course he said: "There are really phoenix feathers." This was said in front of Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Yuanchen. It's for adults, and children can understand it.

I saw eight-year-old Zhang Rulin stunned slightly, and said seriously: "I don't have it." ”

All of you here are well-educated people. Already laughing.

Seeing the adults laughing. Xiao Rulin became more and more puzzled, and stared at Xu Yuanzuo tightly: "I don't even have chicken feathers, how can I have phoenix feathers?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo stepped forward and stroked Zhang Rulin's head and said with a smile: "Brother will tell you a story." ”‘

Zhang Rulin fled back to his father dissatisfied, quite aggrieved.

"During the Liu and Song dynasties of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu once praised Xie Chaozong - that is, Xie Lingyun's grandson, Xie Feng's son - praised him for 'Chaozong has phoenix feathers', which was heard by Liu Daolong, the general present." Xu Yuanzuo talked eloquently to Zhang Rulin. Taking care of all the gentlemen here, he really looks like a veteran who is used to telling stories.

"After Liu Daolong left the palace. Thinking that everyone said 'rare', since he knew that the Xie family had it, he drove to Xie Chaozong's mansion to see the strange and long-term knowledge. He said to Xie Chaozong: 'I heard that there is a foreign object in your family, why don't you take it out and take a look'?" Xie Chaozong immediately replied: "The house of the hanging chime, is there a foreign object? In other words: we are decent and good people, where did the foreign object come from! ”

Zhang Rulin's eyes flashed, and he was also attracted by this story.

He had heard of Xie Lingyun and knew that he was an amazing gentleman who could write poetry. Although he didn't know Emperor Xiaowu or Liu Daolong, he was quite close to Xie Chaozong.

"Liu Daolong said: 'I heard that the Jun family has phoenix feathers'." Xu Yuanzuo said: "You know that at that time, people took family secrets very seriously, Xie Chaozong's father's name was 'Feng', he called out to his face, Xie Chaozong didn't even care about wearing shoes and ran into the inner hall. Liu Daolong thought that Xie Chaozong had gone to get the 'phoenix feather', and he didn't see Xie Chaozong come out until it was dark, so he had to go back. ”

"There are no phoenixes in the world, right?" Zhang Rulin saw that the adults around him were smiling, and said timidly.

Xu Yuanzuo nodded slightly: "Yes." Therefore, when adults say 'phoenix hair', they mean that the child has the style of his father and ancestors, and they praise the child for his talent, like his father and father, not that he has a rare phoenix hair. ”

Zhang Rulin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I also thank Chaozong for being falsely accused like me." ”

The crowd was rejoicing.

……

That night, Xu Yuanzuo naturally lived in Zhang's house.

Xu Wei went back early, and it could be seen that he was also forced to rescue him, so he sat with him. Xu Yuanzuo really wanted to talk to Xu Wei, but his identity was an obstacle after all, and it was not his style to be entangled as an admirer.

Because Zhang Yuanchen routinely supervises his son's reading, there is no program at night.

Xu Jie went to bed early, and Xu Fan couldn't sleep, so he asked Xu Yuanzuo to go over and talk.

After some questions and answers, Xu Yuanzuo finally asked: "Father, the eldest father came to Shaoxing, isn't it just for the sake of the child's education?" ”

Xu Fan smiled: "That's just a handy effort." You don't have a biography: Lin Shizhou and your eldest father are not just 'old'. ”

- They are still Yan Song's comrades-in-arms together, right?

Xu Yuanzuo waited for Xu Fan to say the answer.

Xu Fan said: "Prince Sejong died early, and now he is competing with King Jing for the throne. Lin Dachun detected the list of ministers attached to the scene, and told your father about it. The two of them seem to have a mediocre relationship, but they have the merit of stabilizing the country. ”

Xu Yuanzuo was taken aback: I just thought that they were standing together against Yan Song, but I didn't expect to secretly collude in such a big matter as seizing the heir - communication!

What kind of friendship could be greater than this?

"Your county exam paper ......" Xu Fan whispered: "Yonghan gave some hints, right?" ”

- I'm sorry, you underestimate your son, I found Mr. Zheng as a gunman.

Xu Yuanzuo pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

Xu Fan laughed, straightened up and said, "What kind of character is your eldest father, you know at a glance that you can't make it, so I told Mr. Shi Zhou......

Xu Yuanzuo's heart tightened, and he banged, like a war drum: How is it possible! How could Xu Jie kill his relatives in righteousness!

"Tell him not to test your Shiwen." Xu Fan continued.

Xu Yuanzuo let out a long breath: Boss, you are playing with me!

"Then tomorrow is to test my poetry?" Xu Yuanzuo is quite confident in this.

"Archaeological Text."

"Guwen!" Xu Yuanzuo's head swelled when he boarded, and he probably knew Xu Jie's logic: he must have felt that this child had read a lot of ancient books, and he could write "Kindergarten Learning", and writing ancient texts was definitely a good opportunity to show his talent.

However, how did Xu Jie know that Xu Yuanzuo's ancient writing was limited compared with the level of Shiwen. (To be continued......)
